xroachng
The classic xroach game for X11: displays disgusting cockroaches on your root window. These creepy crawlies scamper around until they find a window to hide under. Whenever you move or iconify a window, the exposed beetles again scamper for cover.
Adapted for desktop environments like Gnome and KDE. Still works for FVWM, TWM and the like.
